Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the air fryer cover with the illumination function is composed of an upper cover assembly and an illumination assembly. The cover assembly is constructed of structural components that support the illumination assembly and includes elements that perform various functions of the air fryer, such as generating circulating air, heating, etc., while the illumination assembly provides illumination for the interior of the air fryer. The upper cover component comprises an upper shell 1, a motor cover 2, cooling fan blades 3 and a motor 31, and the illuminating component comprises an illuminating lamp 7 and an illuminating lamp support 8. The upper shell 1 is used as a shell of the air fryer and sleeved outside the motor cover 2, and when the upper shell 1 and the motor cover 2 are combined, a space for air flow to pass through is formed between the upper shell 1 and the motor cover 2. It should be noted that, in order to adapt to the elements for realizing various functions of the air fryer, the inner surface of the upper casing 1 and the upper surface of the motor cover 2 are not smooth planes, but have various structures such as protrusions, recesses or hollows, but such non-smooth structures do not completely block the space formed by the combination between the upper casing 1 and the motor cover 2, but can smoothly flow inside.

As shown in fig. 1, the motor 31 is disposed on the upper surface of the motor cover 2, and is located between the upper housing 1 and the motor cover 2, the motor 31 is connected to the cooling blades 3 disposed on the lower surface of the motor cover 2 through a driving shaft, and when the motor 31 works, axial power of the motor is transmitted to the cooling blades 3 through the driving shaft to drive the cooling blades 3 to rotate, so as to accelerate the circulation flow speed of air. In a preferred embodiment, the cooling fan 3 is configured as a reverse air outlet fan, that is, when the motor is arranged downward, the direction of the circulating air generated by the fan driven by the motor is no longer downward, but flows in the opposite direction (i.e., upward). The reverse air outlet blade is arranged by reversing (upward direction in the preferred embodiment) the blade, so that when the blade rotates, the blade extrudes the air on the stress surface in a beveling manner, and the air on the stress surface moves to the upper part vertical to the surface of the blade. Therefore, when the motor 31 drives the cooling fan 3 to rotate, the accelerated airflow is guided upwards under the action of the reverse air outlet blade to flow upwards and blow towards the motor 31, and circularly flow in a space formed by the combination between the housing 1 and the motor cover 2. It should be noted that, since the circulating air generated by the cooling fan 3 does not flow downward to the air fryer to heat the food cooking space and does not flow through the air fryer heating air device, the cooling fan 3 will generate a relatively low temperature air flow, and the cooling function of the motor 31 and other internal components is realized through the circulation formed by the combination between the housing 1 and the motor cover 2.
